Juventus' Blaise Matuidi Says He Was Subject of Racial Abuse vs. Cagliari

Juventus midfielder Blaise Matuidi has said he was subject to racist abuse from the stands during his team’s clash with Cagliari on Saturday.

The Frenchman was part of the Juve side that won 1-0 at the Stadio Sant’Elia in Serie A and after the game posted a message on his Facebook page in which he said he "experienced racism" at the venue, per BBC Sport.

The allegations come from Matuidi just two days after Hellas Verona were ordered to close a section of their stadium after portions of the fanbase racially abused the 30-year-old.
